Yes, click on the networking indicator and click edit (connections),
then edit or add a new connection on the wired tab. Under IPv4
settings you can choose "Shared to other computers" as the method,
then save.

In theory that should be all you need to do. Not sure what that has to
do with a spare router though ;)

That requires a wired connection to the second router, which seems
like what javadayaz is trying to avoid.
